Michele Pastorello, whose title is executive chef at the 1,000-student Camden LEAP Academy University Charter School, will make $95,000 this year. He was paid $71,000 a year ago, still considered well above the going rate for that type of position, the report said.

Pastorello is in a relationship with Gloria Bonilla-Santiago, the school's founder.

The charter school awarded their food contract to a new vendor this year and was required to keep Pastorello as part of the deal, Philly.com said. A typical lunch at the school is grilled cheese, tomato soup and apple sauce.

People who hold a comparable position in school districts of a similar size are generally paid between $45,000 and $50,000, the report said.

The food-services director in Cherry Hill, a district with roughly 13,000 students makes about $50,000. The Pennsauken director is paid $76,206 to oversee meals in a 5,600-student district.

The National School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program provides LEAP most of its food funding. The State Department of Education oversees charter schools, but doesn't get involved in food service contracts.
